An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on behalf of another company. The EOR becomes the official legal employer for payroll, tax, contracts, social insurance, and compliance purposes, while the client company manages the employee’s daily tasks and performance. Using an employer of record Egypt solution allows international companies to hire local employees quickly and legally without establishing a legal entity in Egypt.
